    fm intercooler

    Is it worth fitting a front mount intercooler on a near stock gt turbo? Only other mods include, hks mushroom filter, blitz nur spec exhaust and possibly an uprated actuator (boosting at 0.7 bar) what power gains would you expect and wouldnt it take longer to boost due to more pipework to charge?

    kmh to mph

    Not sure if this the right section for this but whats the easiest (read cheapest lol) way to convert your starlet to mph. Are the speedo drive adapters any good on ebay? Would a set of mph clusters do it alone?
